Perhač Hercigonja Dragica — ceramicist and industrially produced dinnerware designer
(1935, Feričanci)

She graduates from the School of Applied Arts in Zagreb in 1957 as Jugokeramika's stipendiary. After receiving her degree, she finds a job at Jugokeramika, initially at the Department of Decoration and later at the Department of Prototypes, in the Porcelain Workshop. She subsequently transfers back to the Department of Decoration, as an author involved in the advancement of new contemporary decors. She primarily makes thin-walled dinnerware sets (Brazil, Vivien, Ljubljana, Nina, Minas) with elegant lines and often uses her own decors on the objects she designs. The Brazil dinnerware set from 1962 was the first Yugoslav set made from thin porcelain. She uses her own decors when designing dinnerware and cookware. She spends her entire career at Jugokeramika, retiring in 1988. In her work, she creates prototypes for industrial production which made it possible to recognize and evaluate ceramics anew as an autonomous medium in industrial design.
